This is a huge coup. Mattel has done Disney Princesses for years!
Mattel Frozen Out Of Disney Princess Toy Deal - IGN Mattel just lost a big brand.

Marvel, Disney Princesses, and Star wars are all under the same toy roof. Maybe Disney is consolidating everything under Hasbro for an eventual purchase

Seeing as how Mattel made the girl from Brave look like a standard generic princess, GOOD!!!

I wonder if it has anything to do with Disney not getting enough Frozen stock/merch? Seems like the parks were struggling to keep up and they just weren't getting enough stuff out there for the rabid fans to purchase

I hope this means Disney is about to acquire Hasbro. I would love Marvel ROM and the Micronauts to be under one roof.

With all those licenses under one roof, I honestly would not put it past them. Just got back from Disney, and they had plenty of art of Minnie as Slave Leia own there, so why not one of the Princesses.

Breaking news: Mattel says it was the consumers fault....
I hope this opens the eyes of the lazy people in charge.

that's what this seems like but Cars/ Planes did not move as well so. I will tell you Mattel was banking on the Frozen Stuff saving them this winter but that looks like it wont happen

I just saw a whole wall full of Cars/Planes figures at TRU and was wondering how long it will sit there before they put it on sale...

Wow, so right now Mattel only has DC until a few years…….yes, it adds credence that Disney wants a tighter relationship with Hasbro (possible buy out? Or does Disney want Hasbro producing merchandise for all their properties?)

Same here. I'm not happy with what Disney has done with Star Wars so far. SW Clone Wars won awards and still had lots of life in it. The figures for the new series haven't impressed me at all. Having everything under one roof isn't always a good thing.

Wait, so this means we can expect to see MLP Disney Princess toys and Disney Princess Transformers.

DC, Ghostbusters, and WWE. they have effectively lost everything else. I'd say if Mattel keeps the Lackisdasical attitude toward this stuff then all three will find greener pastures. WWE will likely go back to Jaxx Pacific. As for Ghostbuster and DC either Hasbro or Toy Biz I am sure would take the rights but they cannot Marvel legends them.

What are you talking about Marvel Legends - Hasbro. What I said is that they will go to someone else.

Its all those DC hotwheels, all those little kid DC figures. It would have to be something huge to make them lose it and even then, Hasbro is the only other company that could handle a full DC license but DC/WB isn't going to want the same manufacturer as Disney/Marvel Disney/Marvel certainly won't want Hasbro on DC either.

But with buying Marvel in 2009, Lucasfilm in 2012, both multi-BILLION dollar deals, I don't see Disney buying Hasbro anytime soon. Again, it's better business to continue licensing and being paid for toys than make them (as Marvel did). Further, I really don't see much in Hasbro's property catalog that would drastically improve Disney's catalog enough to justify that kind of purchase. Quote:

Toy Biz hasn't existed since 2008 (after briefly changing their name to "Marvel Toys" after Hasbro was given the Marvel master license). I'm surprised to see a collector not be familiar with that. Quote:
I doubt it, Mattel is alot more to DC/WB than a failed figure line or two.

*A company that was a subsidiary of Marvel Comics since 1993 BTW. So theoretically is now owned by Disney. |
